* vmalert: add flag to limit the max value for auto-resovle duration for alerts
The new flag `rule.maxResolveDuration` suppose to limit max value for
alert.End param, which is used by notifiers like Alertmanager for alerts auto resolve.
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1586
These actions simlify metrics filtering. For example,
- action: keep_metrics
regex: 'foo|bar|baz'
would leave only metrics with `foo`, `bar` and `baz` names, while the rest of metrics will be deleted.
The commit also makes possible to split long regexps into multiple lines. For example, the following config is equivalent to the config above:
- action: keep_metrics
regex:
- foo
- bar
- baz
New UI pages:
/ - welcome page with API handlers list;
/groups - list of all rules per group;
/alerts - list of all active alerts;
/groupID/alertID/status - status of the active alert;
The number of series per target can be limited with the following options:
* Global limit with `-promscrape.maxSeriesPerTarget` command-line option.
* Per-target limit with `max_series: N` option in `scrape_config` section.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1561
The purpose of update is to make README and flags description more
clear to the reader. Especially, show that vm-account-id flag is required
for clustered version of VM.
* vmalert: allow extra GET params in datasource package
ExtraParams will be added as GET params to every HTTP request made by datasource.
The `roundDigits` param, for example, was substituted by corresponding extra param.
* vmalert: add nocache=1 param for replay process
The `nocache=1` param is VictoriaMetrics specific parameter which prevents it
from caching and boundaries aligning for queries. We set it to avoid cache
pollution in `replay` mode and also to avoid unnecessary time range boundaries
alignment.
* vmalert: mention nocache=1 in replay description
* vmalert: fix bug with unused param
* vmalert: remove `vmalert_execution_duration_seconds` metric
The summary for `vmalert_execution_duration_seconds` metric gives no additional
value comparing to `vmalert_iteration_duration_seconds` metric.
* vmalert: update config reload success metric properly
Previously, if there was unsuccessfull attempt to reload config and then
rollback to previous version - the metric remained set to 0.
* vmalert: add Grafana dashboard to overview application metrics
* docker: include vmalert target into list for scraping
* vmalert: extend notifier metrics with addr label
The change adds an `addr` label to metrics for alerts_sent and alerts_send_errors
to identify which exact address is having issues.
The according change was made to vmalert dashboard.
* vmalert: update documentation and docker environment for vmalert's dashboard
Mention Grafana's dashboard in vmalert's README in a new section #Monitoring.
Update docker-compose env to automatically add vmalert's dashboard.
Update docker-compose README with additional info about services.
Before, metric `vm_request_duration_seconds` was update only on successful
attempts which could be misleading. For example, timeout errors on netstorage
request may be not accounted in the metric and won't be visible on dashboards.
Using `defer` statement to update the metric after query arguments validation
may improve the situation.
This option allows reducing CPU usage a bit when VictoriaMetrics is used
for collecting and processing non-Prometheus data. For example, InfluxDB line protocol, Graphite, OpenTSDB, CSV, etc.
This option can be useful when vmagent consumes too much additional memory
for staleness markers functionality and when staleness markers aren't needed.
* vmalert: allow to disable automatically added path to remote write address via disablePathAppend flag
* docs: update docs to include remoteWrite.disablePathAppend
This metric can be used for determining high saturation of every connection to remote storage with
an alerting query `rate(vmagent_remotewrite_send_duration_seconds_total) > 0.9s`.
This query triggers when a connection is satureated by more than 90%
